Nice place, nature, sea etc. The hotel is a family property and our stay there was very comfortable, in really family atmosphere. Many thanks to Apostolos, Maria, Takis and George for their assistance during our holidays.

Excellent place for people looking for the place far away from the crowd and noise. Great atmosphere created by the Greek family. Outstanding food prepared by Maria – owners daughter. Rooms simple but clean. Air-conditioning working properly. Pool with saltwater is big enough and clean with direct view to the sea.. We love this place. Our children do not want to go anywhere else for next vacation.

I paid 35€ per room and what I get was more than I expected for this money. Every apartment has its own view of the garden, the pool is really big, the complex is right at the sea. Stavros beach is wonderful and its at 2 minutes by car (you can go walking). The only “negative” thing is that is that you need a car.

Quiet, clean, comfortable at a very good price. I’ll be back summertime for more vacation. Excellent place to relax with a wonderful view of the sea and nice beach. Not too far from the city of Chania. Offers you a good sightseeing.

The hotel is in an ideal location, ideal for rest and relaxation for short trips by bus or your own car. We went there and we enjoyed relaxing and very good food and we experienced an excellent Cretan hospitality from the owners of the hotel main mission, Taki, Mary and George. We thank them for inviting us to this week and will surely revisit.

We spend two weeks at Hotel Zorbas and we had fantastic time at this place. The hotel has the best sandy beaches in the area just in front of the rooms. Also, the swimming pool is huge with marvelous views and sunsets. The big playgrounds are perfect for children. Our room was big, very clean, well equipped for cooking and comfortable. Gardens are beautiful too. I think that the owners are the most friendly people in Greece that took care for everything we needed! If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is it!

We stayed at Hotel Zorbas for 7 days. This hotel is peaceful and everyone was friendly and service minded. We enjoyed very much the beautiful, quiet place, the swimming pool and the food that was served by Maria at the pool. The seaside at the hotel is wonderful and the service by Apostolos and George is excellent. Room was good and comfortable and was cleaned every day! We had great moments in this paradise location and we definitely will return next year. We highly recommend it to everyone who want to relax and feel like home!

Our original plan was to stay in this hotel as a convenient base for Chania airport: we’d arrive late in the night, sleep there and leave in the morning to explore Crete. Same thing with the way back: as we had an early flight out of Crete, we’d arrive the previous night in the Akrotiri peninsula, sleep at the Zorbas hotel, then go to the airport.
As chance would have it, our bags were lost on the way in. We finally got to the hotel very late at night, angry, depressed and hungry. The staff made it all good. We were invited poolside for a shot of raki, Maria was called to made us something to eat (wonderful souvlaki), and we went off to sleep reasonably tipsy and thoroughly satisfied. When we woke up the next morning the place was so beautiful that we just decided to stay one more day and see if the bags would arrive from the airport.
We spent the most relaxing day in a long, long time, with a wonderful Cretan dinner by Maria again (plus raki). In the end our bags arrived a couple of days later, but we were so satisfied with Zorbas’ hotel that we simply gave up on our exploration ideas and stayed at the hotel for the whole of our holiday. We never regretted it. The sea is fantastic (I’m a passionate snorkeler), there’s an underwater cliff going down to around 22m deep just 2 meters from the coastline. It’s so deep that from the surface you can’t really see the bottom, which makes for the “Big Blue” effect. Fascinating.
